that amazing thing about ghost wars is that you do not know how reliable the protagonist is.
it’s been a long time since i saw a show that was so shady about the protagonist’s intentions and motifs. for 12 and a half episodes, you feel like you know him. but the way the director focused on his face and his expressions sometimes made you wonder… what is going on? what is he up to? have we seen everything important of him? are we aware of what he is doing all day? and then the twist at the end of the season definitely proves that we have NOT seen all his important, plot-driving actions since we - as viewers - have definitely missed important moments and actions of roman in that episode. he played tricks - on the people in the show but also on the viewer. and that eventually leads to one specific question: has he been reliable in the episodes before or was he unreliable from the very start? when did we start not to learn about his motifs and intentions? didn’t we see key moments of him since episode 1 or did it start in episode 13?
many of you call it “out of character” what he did at the end of the season. let me tell you - it is not. the show just picked up on one of the most apparent tropes of ghost stories: the question of the reliability of the protagonist. and the way the show did it was one of the most genius things i’ve ever seen.
a person is not white just bcs they look white. a person with asian and white roots who is whitepassing is still partly of asian heritage, or more precisely, of mixed race. and it doesn’t matter which country you’re living in, that person is still not white. that person may experience “only” second-hand racism or may benefit from white privilege - and yet, that doesn’t make them white.
